MOSCOW, November 17 (Itar-Tass) — Russia has not agreed on the volume of 23 million t of oil to be supplied to Belarus in 2013, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich told reporters.

The talks continue, he said.

The next round of the consultations is planned for next week.

Thus, the vice-premier denied the statement of Belarussian First Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko, who earlier said that the agreement was concluded. "As for next year, the figure will be 23 million tonnes. We have not heard objections here," he said.
